Block level incremental backup provides customers with a significant
boost in performance by adding the ability to back up only the parts of a
file that have changed —providing a powerful complementary option to
its traditional file level backup. Many data-intensive applications like
Microsoft Outlook® and Microsoft Exchange® store their data in a single
large file that constantly changes by small increments. With block
level incremental backup, Retrospect locates the changes in a file and
backs up only those blocks, speeding up the backup and using far less
storage. This freed-up time and storage can be used to back up
additional systems, provide breathing room for future growth, or back up
critical data more frequently.

Retrospect’s new dashboard is a valuable productivity tool that gives
customers a high-level overview of their current backup environment,
with a weekly summary and a visualization of recent backups. Customers
can quickly see which computers are not protected, identify which
computers back up the most data, and evaluate their storage usage,
saving time and ensuring complete data protection.

Improved email reporting provides a wealth of data about each backup.
The operations log is now included in the reports to give customers
complete insight into each backup's progress. With these detailed logs
customers can supervise their backups from any device and filter emails
based on errors or warnings to hone in on issues as soon as they happen.

“We are very excited about these new features, offering our customers
a complete data protection eco-system.” said David Lee, Retrospect's
Director of Worldwide Product Management. “Smaller organizations are
continually challenged by the need for a comprehensive cross-platform
data protection solution that offers full on-site and off-site data
protection, archiving, and duplication. There are so many incomplete
options in the market today that it can be very confusing. For the last
30 years, we have continued to develop Retrospect for small and medium
sized businesses, refining and enhancing our tried-and-true technology,
so our customers can be confident that their data is completely
protected now and for the future.”
